Antoine Gallimard

In 2000, after considering buying the electronic publishing company Bibliopolis, he abruptly put an end to this project. On 5 January 2003, Antoine Gallimard was able to announce that he and his close associates in the holding company Groupe Madrigall now owned 98% of the capital of the family business, following the repurchase of minority shareholders. In February 2011, in an interview with Télérama, he explained the state of the Gallimard house, a hundred years after its creation:.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}

Claude Gallimard succeeded his father, Gaston Gallimard, at the head of Éditions Gallimard in 1975. Antoine Gallimard was entrusted in 1988 by his father to take the reins of the publishing group whence the eldest son of the family, Christian Gallimard, the designated heir, left after a deep disagreement with his father in 1984. In spite of his youth and his relative lack of experience, Antoine Gallimard (who had thought of becoming a professor of philosophy and whose father had forcibly steered towards the Faculty of Law in Assas) imposed himself and succeeded in bringing out Gallimard of the family conflict in which they had almost foundered.

Antoine Gallimard (born 19 April 1947 in Paris) is a French publisher and company boss, president of éditions Gallimard and Groupe Madrigall.

Antoine Gallimard is one of the four children of Claude Gallimard and Simone Gallimard, son and daughter-in-law of Gaston Gallimard, the founder of éditions Gallimard in 1911. Antoine Gallimard has four daughters including Charlotte (1980–), appointed CEO of Casterman in November 2012.
